The invention claimed is: 1. A system comprising: a mixture of a crystalline substance and a liquid, wherein the mixture has a first phase at a first temperature in which the mixture is solid and a second phase at a second temperature in which the mixture is partially solid and partially liquid, the second temperature is higher than the first temperature, and the mixture is capable of absorbing heat while melting and maintaining the second temperature, the mixture is not capable of being fully liquid at the second temperature; and a pouch containing the mixture, wherein the mixture fully solidifies at 70° F. over a first period of time that is shorter than a second period of time over which the mixture melted. 2. A system comprising: a mixture of a crystalline substance and a liquid, wherein the mixture has a first phase at a first temperature in which the mixture is solid and a second phase at a second temperature in which the mixture is partially solid and partially liquid, the second temperature is higher than the first temperature, and the mixture is capable of absorbing heat while melting and maintaining the second temperature, the mixture is not capable of being fully liquid at the second temperature, wherein the mixture consists substantially of water and sodium sulfate, wherein 65% to 75% by weight of the mixture is sodium sulfate; and a pouch containing the mixture. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the crystalline substance includes at least one type of salt. 4. The system of claim 2, wherein the crystalline substance is sodium sulfate. 5. The system of claim 2, wherein the liquid includes at least water. 6. The system of claim 2, wherein the liquid includes at least water, and the crystalline substance includes at least sodium sulfate. 7. The system of claim 6, wherein the mixture is Na2SO4.H2O. 8. The system of claim 2, further comprising a material that covers at least an outside portion of the pouch. 9. The system of claim 8, wherein the mixture has a melting temperature of less than or equal to 78.6° F. at which the mixture is stable in the second phase. 10. The system of claim 8, wherein the material is one that is expected to conduct heat well enough so that the mixture cools an area placed in contact with the pouch by at least melting the mixture. 11. The system of claim 8, wherein the material is plush cotton. 12. The system of claim 8, wherein the material is ice cotton. 13. The system of claim 8, wherein the material is satin. 14. The system of claim 8, wherein further comprising a first material that covers at least a first outside portion of the pouch on one side and a second material that covers at least a second outside portion on a second side. 15. The system of claim 14, wherein the first material is satin and the second material is cotton. 16. The system of claim 2, wherein the mixture is 70% by weight sodium sulfate and 30% by weight water. 17. The system of claim 2, wherein the liquid includes at least water; the crystalline substance includes at least sodium sulfate; the mixture is substantially 70% by weight sodium sulfate and substantially 30% by weight water; the pouch includes at least a material including at least nylon vinyl that forms walls of the pouch, and a sealant including at least a polyvinyl chloride glue that lines the material inside the pouch; and the system further includes at least a covering of cotton that covers at least a first outside portion of the pouch on one side, and a covering of satin that covers at least a second outside portion on a second side. 18. The system of claim 2, wherein the mixture fully solidifies at 70° F. over a first period of time that is shorter than a second period of time over which the mixture melted, and the mixture is a mixture of Na2SO4 and H2O. 19. The system of claim 2, wherein the pouch comprises: a material forming walls of the pouch, and a sealant lining the material inside the pouch. 20. The system of claim 19, the mixture is only water and Na2SO4. 21. The system of claim 2, the pouch only contains the mixture. 22. The system of claim 2, the mixture is only water and Na2SO4. 23. The system of claim 2, the mixture includes at least 25% to 35% by weight water. 24. A method comprising: forming a mixture of a crystalline substance and a liquid, the mixture is 65% to 75% by weight sodium sulfate and 25% to 35% by weight water, wherein the mixture has a first phase at a first temperature in which the mixture is solid and a second phase at a second temperature in which the mixture is partially solid and partially liquid, the second temperature is higher than the first temperature, and the mixture is capable of absorbing heat while melting and maintaining the second temperature; and forming a pouch containing the mixture. 25. A method comprising: placing a pack containing at least mixture of a crystalline substance and a liquid on a portion of a subject, the mixture is 65% to 75% by weight sodium sulfate and 25% to 35% by weight water, wherein the mixture has a first phase at a first temperature in which the mixture is solid and a second phase at a second temperature in which the mixture is partially solid and partially liquid, the second temperature is higher than the first temperature, and the mixture is capable of absorbing heat while melting and maintaining the second temperature; and allowing the mixture to absorb heat from the portion of the subject, therein cooling the portion. 26. A system comprising: a mixture of a crystalline substance and a liquid, wherein the mixture has a first phase at a first temperature in which the mixture is solid and a second phase at a second temperature in which the mixture is partially solid and partially liquid, the second temperature is higher than the first temperature, and the mixture is capable of absorbing heat while melting and maintaining the second temperature, the mixture is not capable of being fully liquid at the second temperature, wherein the mixture consists substantially of water and sodium sulfate, wherein 65% to 75% by weight of the mixture is sodium sulfate; and a pouch containing the mixture wherein the pouch comprises: a material forming walls of the pouch, and a sealant lining the material inside the pouch. 27. The system of claim 26, wherein the material is nylon vinyl. 28. The system of claim 26, wherein the sealant is a polyvinyl chloride glue.
